Syllabus

WEEK 1
Bases de fisiología renal
En este módulo, se abordarán las principales funciones del riñón y su relevancia en la homeostasis del organismo. Para ellos es necesario conocer la fisiología renal, ya que facilita la comprensión de los procesos dialíticos como terapia de sustitución renal.

WEEK 2
Enfermedad renal crónica (ERC)
En este módulo, se abordará la enfermedad renal crónica terminal en sus diferentes estadios, así como sus elementos principales: factores de riesgo, marcadores de daño renal y decremento de la tasa de filtrado glomerular. Se hará énfasis en el retardo del daño renal y la conservación de la fusión renal residual, así como diferentes intervenciones de acuerdo con el estadio de la enfermedad renal.

WEEK 3
Bases y principios en diálisis peritoneal
En este módulo se abordarán las bases biofísicas que permiten realizar funciones como la depuración y eliminación de toxinas y exceso de agua del organismo. También se incluyen los elementos indispensables para realizar la diálisis, como las características y colocación del catéter peritoneal y los cuidados a llevar a cabo.

WEEK 4
Programa de capacitación para la enseñanza de la diálisis peritoneal
En este módulo, se abordará el programa de capacitación considerado como una competencia del personal de enfermería dentro del equipo de diálisis. Por ello, la enseñanza consiste en dar a conocer al paciente y su familiar los conceptos esenciales y poseer habilidades motoras. El inicio de esta terapia de sustitución renal es un punto crucial para el pronóstico de los pacientes con ERC en estadio 5, ya que la supervivencia del paciente depende en gran medida del estado de salud en que ingrese al programa.

WEEK 5
Sistemas de conectología
En este módulo, se abordarán dos de los sistemas de conectología más utilizados con el propósito de evidenciar las medidas de seguridad y conservación. Se enfatizará en las precauciones a seguir durante la desconexión, cebado, permanencia y conexión del sistema para lograr un procedimiento seguro para el paciente.

Classical papers in molecular genetics (Coursera)

You have all heard about the DNA double helix and genes. Many of you know that mutations occur randomly, that the DNA sequence is read by successive groups of three bases (the codons), that many genes encode enzymes, and that gene expression can be regulated. These concepts were proposed on the basis of astute genetic experiments, as well as often on biochemical results. The original articles were these concepts appeared are however not frequently part of the normal curriculum of biologists, biochemists and medical students.

Clinical Kidney, Pancreas and Islet Transplantation (Coursera)

Kidney transplantation is a major advance of modern medicine which provides high-quality of life for patients with end-stage renal disease. What used to be an experimental, risky, and very limited treatment option more than 50 years ago is now routinely performed in many countries worldwide. The number of renal transplants is expected to rise sharply in the next decade since the proportion of patients with end stage renal disease is increasing.

Big Data Science with the BD2K-LINCS Data Coordination and Integration Center (Coursera)

In this course we briefly introduce the DCIC and the various Centers that collect data for LINCS. We then cover metadata and how metadata is linked to ontologies. We then present data processing and normalization methods to clean and harmonize LINCS data. This follow discussions about how data is served as RESTful APIs. Most importantly, the course covers computational methods including: data clustering, gene-set enrichment analysis, interactive data visualization, and supervised learning. Finally, we introduce crowdsourcing/citizen-science projects where students can work together in teams to extract expression signatures from public databases and then query such collections of signatures against LINCS data for predicting small molecules as potential therapeutics.
